DescriptionRetired Gen. Wesley Clark, who has been flirting with a bid for the Democratic presidential nomination for months, took another step toward a candidacy yesterday. Asked on NBC's "Meet the Press" about a run, Clark said, "I'm going to have to consider it."

Clark is the subject of radio ads being broadcast in New Hampshire by a group trying to draft him for the race. He has been meeting with potential donors and others throughout the year. Clark, who clashed with his Pentagon superiors during the 1998-99 war in Kosovo, is untested as a politician, but some Democrats see him as an attractive candidate in the post-Sept. 11, 2001, environment because of his military experience.
